Tie Down Engineering Panel Bracket 86152, Hot Dip Galvanized Steel Keel Roller Bracket

The Tie Down Engineering 86152 is a one-piece panel bracket built to support keel rollers on a boat trailer. It is formed from 11 gauge hot dip galvanized steel, giving it heavy duty corrosion resistance for repeated exposure to water and road spray. The bracket mounts to the trailer frame or bunk and provides vertical adjustment for the roller, letting the installer position the roller height to properly cradle and support the hull as the boat is loaded or retrieved.

The bracket's slots accept 7/16 inch or 1/2 inch diameter mounting bolts, and it is designed to work with 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch diameter roller shafts, covering the most common keel roller assemblies used on recreational boat trailers. Because the bracket allows the roller to be raised or lowered along the slot, it makes it easier to fine-tune roller contact with the keel as trailer setup or boat position changes over time. As a one-piece galvanized steel part, the 86152 is intended as a durable, direct-fit replacement for a worn, bent, or rusted panel bracket, restoring proper keel roller support without replacing the entire roller assembly.
